Somewhat unusually for Heinlein, this is a cute, fun book which doesn't try to ladle a bunch of right-wing ideology down your throat, or O.D. you on dubious sex. There's some time travel, a sympathetic main character, a Bad Girl, and a cat who steals the show every time he appears on stage. He even gets the title: the reference is to his endearing habit, during winter months, of making the hero open each door in the house in turn, just in case one of them happens to lead into summer...

Seamus Lavery One of my favourites from my youth, which I still re read regularly :-)


Manny Glad to hear it!


Courtney I was pulled in immediately because of the intro with the cat!


Manny Me too! I read this more than 40 years ago, and I still love the cat and think about him every now and then. Good ol' Pete.
